Here’s an excerpt of a review<\/a>:<\/p>\n Gilda being black is core and informs how she makes meaning of her world, and how she is responded to. Gilda understands the various ethnicities of the girls in the bordello. She knows that Bird is a Native American. When Gilda visits Sorrel\u2019s salon in Yerba Buena, she understands that people look at her askance because she is black. As a female, Gilda knows she is vulnerable on the road alone so she dresses as a boy. It is from Gilda\u2019s perspective that we learn these things. For me, people of color and women are the center of the universe; it\u2019s natural. Assuming this centrality allowed me to address people\u2019s racism without having the racism take over the story.<\/p>\n As a black woman, Gilda recognizes situations that put her in jeopardy. As a vampire she has power to overcome these situations, but she knows that other people don\u2019t have that same privilege. She experiences life as a black woman, but she has privilege as a vampire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I Got Your Book: The Gilda Stories<\/a> — Originally posted at The Angry Black Woman<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Like always, we gotta start with some celebrations!
